Steuben County REMC customers in and around the Angola Gardens residential area at I-69 and 20 are experiencing a power outage due to some power lines being knocked down by work crews in the area.

Jamie Walker with Steuben County REMC says that so far about 98 customers are currently without power on 150 South. Walker says REMC crews are on the scene, and that it is likely that more people will be without power in order to repair the damages. She also advises people to stay away from the area and be patient as crews work.

Walker also says that customers should report outages by calling 260.665.3563 and to not assume that the power company knows they are without electricity.
